Guild Wars 2

So I read a post or two on youtube about someone saying that crit damage caps at 80%-100%, and that anything above 100% is pointless.. I’m curious to know if anyone knows if crit damage has any sort of cap on it. Thanks!

Don’t know, but I’d be very surprised if it did.

Perhaps the person meant that you can’t raise your crit damage over 80-100%, from a purely statistical standpoint. Like, the gear you get can’t raise your crit damage higher than that.

Well I have 106% crit damage atm, and with food it goes up to 116% crit damage. If theres a cap; I’d like to regear or retrait or something and stack more precision.

there is no hard cap on crit damage to my knowledge.

Ya I figured this as people said it was 80, and I ran a build where I was tankier and had 80% crit damage, then switch gear to 116% crit chance and there was a difference in numbers; leading me to believe that there is no cap at all for crit damage.

tbh it sort of sounds like people are confusing crit chance (technically capped at 100% as you can’t crit more than 100% of the time) and crit damage (which as far as I’ve seen is no hard capped at 100% additional critical damage)

Yeah I don’t think crit damage has a cap.

The cap is 120%.

It’s 126% to be exact, or 129% if u play with Superior runes of Rage being under fury…

I think those numbers are the max critical dmg you can gain by adding all the bonuses from different sources (boons, food, etc.) not necessarily the cap.

I am curious what all is being used for the calculation.
Traits, Food, ETC. I wonder because I want to double check and make sure nothing is missed.

Does this include WvW bonuses?
Does this include All Ascended Gear with Proper Infusions?

Any extra info would be appreciated
